In a world where golf course conditioning and playability is seen by players (both those who travel and the stay-at-home golfers) in global terms, the reintroduction, by the R&A, of its world-class turf management certification to India is great news for golf on the sub-continent.

Golfers in South Africa are fortunate in being able to ‘dodge’ inclement seasons by moving around the country. So, when it is wet and miserable mid-year in the Cape, or freezing cold on the highveld, you can pack up your golf clubs and go to KwaZulu-Natal, and reverse the process during KwaZulu-Natal’s Indian Ocean coastline’s humid summer months.

Shredding old golf balls, as an aggregate to use in making concrete, is one example of innovation and recycling at its best! Globally, it is estimated that anywhere between 3 billion to 5 billion golf balls are lost every year, and because they are constructed with synthetic rubber cores and plastic polymer covers, these millions of errant shots have a significant environmental impact.
A single lost golf ball can take between 100 to 1,000 years to decompose, slowly leaching microplastics and chemicals into soil and water hazards over time.

Estate Living explores this arena, and how HOAs try to manage carts’ use, which can be complicated by the fact that some internal roads within estates are often public thoroughfares, and therefore subject to national traffic regulations.
